Answer: 5

To get the similarity ratio, we must know that for the given triangles:

[tex]\frac{IG}{UW}=\frac{GH}{WV}=\frac{HI}{VU}[/tex]

From the given, we know that:

UW = 2

WV = 2

VU = 1

IG = 10

GH = 10

HI = 5

Substitute these to the given equation and we will get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{IG}{UW}=\frac{GH}{WV}=\frac{HI}{VU} \\ \frac{10}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=\frac{5}{1} \\ 5=5=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

With this, we have the similarity ratio of ΔGHI to ΔWVU is 5
